Set in desirable Comely Bank, this two-bedroom second-floor flat offers a practical, low-maintenance city base less than two miles from Princes Street. The sitting room opens onto a sheltered private balcony for fresh air and outdoor seating; the kitchen has fitted units and a mix of integrated and freestanding appliances. Both bedrooms are doubles with built-in storage, and included fixtures and floorcoverings reduce immediate moving costs.
The building is a mid-20th-century factored development with mature landscaping and residents’ permit parking (one permit). Local conveniences are excellent: Stockbridge cafés and shops, Waitrose on Comely Bank Road, Craigleith Retail Park and good bus links into the West End and city centre are all within easy reach. The Water of Leith walkway, Inverleith Park and the Botanic Gardens provide nearby green space.
Practical considerations: heating is electric (panel and storage radiators) and the Energy Performance Certificate is F, which will affect running costs. The flat is on the second floor and accessed via a communal stairwell (no lift), and the communal grounds are modest with no private garden. The annual factor fee is approx. £950 and council tax is band D.
This property suits a first-time buyer or investor seeking a well-located, straightforward home or buy-to-let with good amenity access and low immediate maintenance. The compact, efficient layout and included fixtures make it move-in ready, but prospective buyers should factor in energy costs and the lack of a lift when viewing.
